There is displayed on the user interface a menu listing a plurality of categories of videos accessible to the computer using the internet access. Upon selection by a user of a category of videos from the menu, a web search engine is queried for a list of video web page locations within the selected category. The list is received at the digital computer by way of the internet access. The list is formed into a queue for retrieving playing the associated videos. The associated image and audio data for the videos in the queue is received by the computer using the internet access. The videos are played automatically in the sequence in which they are queued up unless the user intervenes or the list is updated.
